Leandra in NY September 2012, wearing skirt by Ostwald Helgason and triobag by Celine.

A girl right up my street, who’s certainly gifted with a lovely attitude, style and writing skills, blogger Leandra Medine aka The Man Repeller, has written her first book. I will for sure lay my hands on it and expect nothing less than hilarious content. The book ‘Seeking Love. Finding Overalls.’ can be pre-ordered on Amazon, release date 10’th of September.

Guess if I turned a little starstruck yesterday when Grace Coddington signed my latest book addition, her autobiography “A Memoir” at Browns Fashion. She’s such a talented graceful beautiful woman that I have my deepest respect for and I cannot wait to dig into this gorgeous book during my Christmas-days-off.

This morning I enjoyed looking through my new beautiful Kate book while sipping to a cup of ginger-mint-tea with fennel and lemon, a new obsession of mine(!), the tea I mean.
If you already are the owner of the book (if not you’ll find it here), and perhaps would like to meet Kate in person, then you can bring it with you tomorrow the 15’th (between 5pm and 7pm), to Marc Jacob’s Bookmarc store in Mayfair and have it signed. If you’re not queueing up for yourself it would sure make a great Christmas gift to a fashion loving friend…….

If you’re a little nutty about Kate Moss like me, you’ve probably added her soon the be released “Kate”, already to your Christmas wishlist. This book will for sure include some iconic fashion images, and will come in 8 different covers photographed by Mario Testino, Corinne Day, Inez & Vinoodh, Craig McDean, Mert & Marcus, David Sims, Mario Sorrenti, and Juergen Teller. Publishing date November 6’th and yours for £50.

Good eve folks, not much of blogging today from my side and in a minute I’m heading out for dinner at Ramsey’s Maze, but I thought I could share this book tip with you. The book I’m carrying around in my bag at the moment is One Day by David Nicholls, hilarious and romantic, and the movie is in cinemas right now, starring Anne Hathaway. Just need to finish off the book quickly before I’ll be joining with popcorn.

On my wishlist is this beautiful book that was released yesterday, “Northern Women in Chanel” featuring top Scandinavian and Baltic models in Chanel designs shot in typical Nordic locations. Behind the 384 pages, including 45 editorials are the Swedish couple, photographer Peter Farago and stylist Ingela Klemets-Farago. It’s limited edition and will only come in 2112 copies but the images are on display right now at “Fotografiska” in Stockholm if you’re passing by.

I don’t know about you guys but there’s one biography coming out later this year that I’m curious to read, Carine Roitfeld‘s autobiography, Irreverent. Unfortunately it won’t be launched before October 4th but you can pre-order the book here.
